[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1811756, member: 32659"] How much are you wanting to feed per head per day? My neighbor has one of those fancy store bought auto feeders. I can't recall the brand but it's about 25-30 foot long and green with yellow letters on it. Looks like you load it from the top with super sacks and then a few times a day it drops feed down into the trough. The thing is on skids so it can be moved when rotating cattle too. It sits at her barn and never gets used. The best auto feeder I've seen so far is the one on wheels that hold several tons. Drag it to town and fill it up with a limiter feed. Some times tried, true, and easy is best. I've looked at auto feeder ideas and think this is one of those cases. I've got a creep feeder that you can load with a cube box. We haven't used it in several years because feed has been so high. When we did use it I was never surprised at how much they ate. However if you are only feeding a few head you might be on to something with the setup you described. Good luck and let us know how it works. [/QUOTE]
